1. Analysis
Successful prevention begins with an analysis of the status quo. Our experts evaluate existing safety measures and risk factors as well as internal processes such as organisational safety. Only by taking a holistic view and understanding how various elements are interconnected can we gauge the actual risk and offer an assessment. Our findings and recommendations on risk reduction are then documented in an expert report.
2. Emergency response plan
Clear guidelines and a well-stocked emergency kit are the prerequisites to having the right strategy and necessary tools at hand, no matter what the situation. Developing and introducing an emergency strategy takes time and costs money. Nevertheless – when compared with the consequences of water, fire or mould damage – the investment is well worth the additional expense.
